One sequencer,
two sound engines.

DABEATS combines a drum sampler and a synth engine on the same step grid — mix and match freely across up to 12 tracks, then shape the whole groove without leaving the plugin.

Tracks Up to 12 tracks, each assignable to sample or synth mode, mixed freely in the same pattern.
64 Steps 64 steps per pattern, with swing, fill decay, and a randomize mode for instant variations.
Chain Chain and loop patterns to build full arrangements straight from the sequencer.
Live Ready Mute, fill, and reroll patterns on the fly — designed to be played, not just programmed.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

🥁

Sidechain

A duck you
draw yourself.

Inspired by shaping tools like ShaperBox, the Duck module lets your first track act as the rhythmic reference for the whole mix.

  • Hand-drawn curve, point by point — no generic attack/release envelope
  • Tempo-synced looping (1/2, 1/4, 1/8) or retriggered on detected hits
  • Per-track amount knob to dial in how hard each instrument ducks
